What happened to the Malaysian AFC Cup representative? Did we simply lose our place?

And Sabah's back up again in the top league (whatever the hell they choose to call it now).

Last time I followed every game, it was by radio. Anyway I can get at least radio commentary for matches online?

Kinda dumb though. Singapore not being allowed because they had foreign teams, maybe understandable, but no foreign players?

Alright, found a Radio Sabah stream online. Some rhythmic Malay announcing and my imagination and I will get the match in my head!

Another typo is surely the lack of the letters 's' and 'i' in 'Malaya'?

Ignorance on one part and unavoidable knowledge on another part a formula for peace is not.

Shirley, you don't think I'm complaining about translation, but the the wording itself, right?

After living away from Malaysia so long, nor really.

But from experiences living in the West ("they're not from Malaysia", "do you still live on trees?", ""

Add to that the lack of recognition players like James Wong and Matlan Marjan (scored both goals in our glorious 5-2 defeat to England) receive for their national contribution and how players who move to Sabah in the 90s reduced their chances of national callups, do understand I can be somewhat bitter sometimes supporting Malaysia when some portion of them don't acknowledge us.

Sabahans do tend to swell attendances, mind.

Never underestimate the power of poor-state inferiority complexes. Football has always been been an extension of other social feelings. English fans used to chant "go get a job!" whenever they go up against any of the Liverpool teams. So the Sabahan team in many ways (good or badly) can sometimes be a proxy for Sabahan grievances.

Back on topic, Terengganu, bring it on! We don't have a good record against them and being the newly promoted boys, seems like an early away test is definitely trying. Should park the bus and hope for the best.

Sabah's most interesting signing would have to be Stanley Samuel, a guy who was part of the reality show-assembled MyTeam who then went on to, of all places, India for a season. The bulk of tranfers seem to have been former Sabahan players who had spent a couple of seasons abroad and want to come back right now.

There's Lim Teong Kim, a youth coach at Bayern Munich, who once said that there are the Malaysians who are proactive and took the initiative to go abroad and there are those who are abroad simply because FAM chose them. He felt that the ones that were proactive fared better and when you think about the difference between the Wigan goalkeeper al-Habsi and the many Middle Eastern footballers who come to trials in Europe with an entourage of servants, you see why that is.

If Safee went abroad by his own choice, then I'd say kudos on having the balls to give it a go.

I believe highly competitive leagues will always tactically innovate and improve anyway and the Indonesian league(s) is as competitive as it gets.

Thanks for this info!
